Intelsat launches Cloud Connect Media to support programmers

Inflight connectivity (IFC) provider, Intelsat, has launched Cloud Connect Media (CCM), a new service that provides programmers with secure access between the IntelsatOne Media Network and Amazon Web Services (AWS), for which it is a partner.

CCM, currently available in the United States and Europe, is designed to provide content providers with a private, dedicated secure gateway between AWS and the Intelsat global media distribution network. This collaboration is intended to give Intelsat media customers a more efficient way to connect to their playout, video editing, and additional resources they use in the cloud while still accessing the IntelsatOne media network for centralised distribution and managed services, including uplink and/or downlink to key satellites and teleports, colocation, and more.

Intelsat customers using enterprise and commercial aviation connectivity services that also require dedicated secure connectivity to their cloud-based services will be able to take advantage of AWS Direct Connect, which provides a low latency, secure and private connection to the global AWS network.
